Early in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing was woken up by the sound of a phone call. When he got up, he saw that he was wearing nothing.
What's going on lately? Why do I always take off my own clothes? Is it the heat?
Without thinking much, Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly picked up the phone, and it turned out to be Zhou Qiangbin's call.
"Zhang Yuanqing, come to my office immediately." Zhou Qiangbin's voice was as cold as the cold wind.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly felt something bad. Could something have happened?
He quickly got dressed and walked out of the room.
In the living room, Lin Yu was wiping the floor carefully. She knelt on the ground and wiped it carefully. When Zhang Yuanqing came out, she happened to brush against the door and looked like she was kneeling in front of Zhang Yuanqing.
Lin Yu didn't think anything was wrong. He raised his head and brushed his hair to his ears. He knelt on the ground and said softly: "Yuan Qing, are you in a hurry to go out early in the morning? Breakfast is in the kitchen."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Lin Yu and felt that her complexion was much better than in the past two days, like a flower that had been nourished.
However, Zhang Yuanqing was not in the mood to look any further, so he said he had something to do and hurried out.
After driving to the city hall, Zhang Yuanqing immediately went upstairs and entered Zhou Qiangbin's office.
After knocking on the door and entering, Zhou Qiangbin sat in his seat with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing come in, Zhou Qiangbin pushed the newspaper on the table forward: "Read it for yourself."
The newspaper is Jiangbei Daily, and there is a signed article on the front page, which is the article I wrote for Zhou Qiangbin to investigate. Zhang Yuanqing was a little confused. Didn't he say that he voted in the name of the municipal government? Why did he sign his name?
And the length is wrong. The text was indeed written by myself and there were not many changes. However, too many photos were published, causing the original 800-word article to take up the entire page.
Zhang Yuanqing felt sweat on his forehead instantly. This article was too long.
Zhou Qiangbin is the executive deputy mayor. Although his news should be taken seriously, it cannot be taken seriously to this extent. He is only ranked sixth in the municipal party committee. According to the rules, even if he makes the headlines, he can only occupy about half of the headlines.
At this length, even the secretary of the municipal party committee seems high-profile.
Anyone with a discerning eye will feel that Zhou Qiangbin is engaged in political performance projects and will do whatever it takes to achieve results.
Especially with such propaganda, it is very easy to make enemies. The article mentioned some top leaders of government units. Zhang Yuanqing originally mentioned them in one sentence, but now they also include the names of their units.
The top leaders of these units will feel that Zhou Qiangbin stepped on them in order to become famous. After all, they were at the forefront of the Kahaiyun Group project and played a very disgraceful role.
Now push them to the opposite side, and the next time Zhou Qiangbin thinks of making a phone call, he will receive resistance. The failure of government orders will directly determine whether this leader can make a difference.
So Zhou Qiangbin called all the top leaders over that day and did not reprimand him directly, but discussed the matter as it happened. Now a report is self-defeating.
Moreover, this matter is difficult to explain. Zhang Yuanqing’s name is signed on it. Even if Zhou Qiangbin said it was not his intention, no one would believe it.
It turns out that Zhou Qiangbin entered the enterprise for research because he wanted to do practical things and establish his prestige by producing real results. Now it has become a show, and even if the newspaper reaches the province, it will give the leaders above a feeling of frivolity and self-righteousness.
Don't underestimate a newspaper. If it is not handled properly, it will even damage Zhou Qiangbin's prestige.
There was a hint of anger in Zhou Qiangbin's eyes: "Why didn't you show me this article?"
Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly explained: "Mayor Zhou, I followed the procedure and showed it to Director Ren first. Director Ren asked me to go directly to the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee said that just give them the manuscript. I think... they..."
Zhou Qiangbin interrupted coldly: "You thought they would show it to me, so you didn't bring it over or even make a call?"
"I...I was wrong, Mayor Zhou." Zhang Yuanqing knew how to explain, but he couldn't explain the fact that he had neglected his duty.
Although Zhang Yuanqing felt that someone was deliberately causing trouble, if he had reported it in advance, Zhou Qiangbin would definitely pay attention to it. If something goes wrong, it can be rectified in time.
Now, when Zhou Qiangbin saw the newspaper, it had been published for a day. Even if he wanted to take back the newspaper, there was no chance.
Zhou Qiangbin asked: "Just admit that you are wrong. How do you think this matter can be remedied?"
Zhang Yuanqing knew that if he couldn't think of a way, Zhou Qiangbin would probably relegate him to the sidelines. After all, the trap was too big for him to take responsibility for.
So he immediately thought seriously, it was impossible to take back the newspaper, so how could he break this situation?
Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively: "How about you hold me accountable, and then I take the initiative to write a letter of apology. This matter will be treated as a news incident and spread in the form of a report."
Zhang Yuanqing proposed this method and was already ready to be a scapegoat.
There is no way around this, and someone must take responsibility. If he could sacrifice himself to prove that Zhou Qiangbin had nothing to do with the matter and establish his leadership authority, he felt that he would be willing to do so.
And as the leader's secretary, as long as the leader does not fail, he will still have a chance.
After hearing this, Zhou Qiangbin's face softened slightly, but his tone was still cold: "Stupid!"
Although Zhou Qiangbin didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and felt that this was a stupid idea. Even if I hold myself accountable, I can't undo this matter.
If someone is interested in making a fuss, they will say that Zhou Qiangbin is both responsible and established. Especially in the officialdom, taking advantage of one's own confidants will make some waiting-and-seeing centrists feel that Zhou Qiangbin is cold-blooded, ruthless, and unworthy of following.
As a result, Zhou Qiangbin's prestige was still hit. The most taboo thing in officialdom is to be alone. Having no one under you means you have no power.
Zhou Qiangbin sighed slowly: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, let's hurry up and go to the provincial capital now."
"Okay, I'll call Qiao Qiang." Zhang Yuanqing quickly took out his cell phone.
"No need, Qiao Qiang has already arrived." Zhou Qiangbin said, picking up the newspaper and stuffing it into his briefcase.
Obviously Zhou Qiangbin had already made up his mind. He just asked Zhang Yuanqing to test him.
Zhang Yuanqing felt that he was still a bit young and couldn't break the situation.
He followed closely and went downstairs with Zhou Qiangbin.
When entering the car, Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously looked at the building. Although he couldn't see anything, he felt that someone should be watching him.
In this incident, Zhang Yuanqing understood that he was being used, and there were masters fighting Zhou Qiangbin behind it. Although Zhou Qiangbin can't suffer any big losses because of this, it can test Zhou Qiangbin's ability and see what his level is.
Because of his own reasons, Zhou Qiangbin fell into passivity.
One wrong move and the opportunity is lost. The officialdom battle is too deep.
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh. This building looked calm, but in fact it hid mysteries. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the raging undercurrent.
After the car started, Zhou Qiangbin remained silent.
Zhang Yuanqing kept thinking of ways to break the situation, but his position was too low and his vision was too narrow, so he didn't know how to do it.
At this moment, Zhou Qiangbin asked: "After Ren Qianxue read the manuscript, you went to the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, who took over?"
"It's Geng Yaohui, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee." Zhang Yuanqing answered truthfully.
A cold look flashed across Zhou Qiangbin's face: "This Minister Geng is really stubborn!"
There was murderous intent hidden in Zhou Qiangbin's words. Zhang Yuanqing knew that Geng Yaohui must have played a bad role in this matter.
Geng Yaohui's information went through his mind and he knew that he had been working as deputy director for several years and now was the time to make a move.
Ordinarily, how dare he offend a member of the Standing Committee of the Deputy Department now? The reason why he dared to do this was definitely because someone gave him confidence.
And Geng Yaohui himself knew that even if he did such a thing and caused Zhou Qiangbin to be dissatisfied with him, it would not be that simple for Zhou Qiangbin to touch him. Above him is the director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, who is also a member of the Standing Committee!
